What is De La Salle University?

On February 19, 1975, De La Salle College was granted university status under the presidency of Brother H. Gabriel Connon FSC and became known as De La Salle University. Another milestone school year was 1981–1982 when the university adopted the year-round trimester calendar for all units instead of the traditional semestral academic schedule. The trimester system allows its students to graduate earlier than their counterparts in other schools that employ the semestral system. In 1987, the then 5-campus De La Salle University System was organized under the term of Br. Andrew Gonzalez FSC composed of De La Salle University, De La Salle University-College of Saint Benilde, De La Salle Santiago Zobel School, the 27-Hectare De La Salle University-Dasmarinas and the 8-Hectare De La Salle Health Sciences Institute. Since then more Lasallian schools were added, most notably the traditionally all-boys La Salle Green Hills school, De La Salle Lipa, De La Salle-Araneta University and La Salle College Antipolo  From 1987 up to 2008, the university officially became known as De La Salle University-Manila.
